Chapter 23 This Is so Beautifully Made
It stands to reason that Ferguson would not have made substitutions so early unless there was an unexpected injury.
Let Dong Fangzhuo warm up on the sidelines, maybe just to sound the alarm for the players on the field, like saying to them:
If you don't score, you will be replaced!
Dong Fangzhuo was slightly surprised, but obediently went to warm up.
He knows better than anyone that the Lyon team is not easy to play.
Real Madrid's Champions League Sixteen Lang was given by Lyon. For many years, Real Madrid died when they met Lyon.
In fact, this Lyon team has gathered international players from all over the world, but some of them are not yet famous.
French internationals Coupe, Abidal, Malouda, Wiltord, Diarra, Govou, Essien.
Brazilian defenders Chris and Casapa.
Norwegian striker Karou.
Of course, the most famous and powerful is the Brazilian midfielder Juninho Jr., who is known as one of the best players in Ligue 1 history.
The two goals Manchester United conceded were related to him!
Through two set-piece opportunities, Carew created the ultimate killing opportunity.
The Brazilian central defenders Chris and Casapa tossed Saha and Solskjaer into obedience, without any chance to shoot.
Especially the bald Chris, who is definitely a hard-powered player.
Throughout the first half, he entangled Saha into doubting his life, and Saha didn't even take a shot.
Almost all of Manchester United's two wing passes to Lyon's headers were cleared by Chris alone.
At the beginning of the second half, Ferguson immediately replaced Saha with Dong Fangzhuo.
His playing time has also been increased from the original half an hour to half a game, which is a huge improvement.
If he cannibalize playing time like this, one day he will become the main force.
This time, Dong Fangzhuo's task as a substitute was heavier than when he played against Bolton in the league. Last time it was a draw, but this time he was behind Lyon by two goals.
"For a match of this level in the Champions League, China's Dong is not strong enough. We should consider pushing Smith to the front. After all, it is really inferior to let Smith play on the left. Besides, why not replace Solskjaer but Saha? Saha can at least hold the ball, Solskjaer is not a striker with the ball at all, neither is China Dong."
The commentator started rambling again, still not optimistic about Dong Fangzhuo.
The UEFA Champions League is the highest level competition. As the saying goes, there are no underdogs in the UEFA Champions League. It is very difficult to score goals in the UEFA Champions League. A rookie striker like Dong Fangzhuo must be inexperienced.
But Dong Fangzhuo soon told him that his lack of experience can be made up for with actions.
At least not waiting for the ball in the penalty area like Saha.
Just debuted, Dong Fangzhuo is naturally full of vigor and good physical strength. The division of labor between Chris and Kasapa is quite clear. Kasapa will continue to serve Solskjaer, and Chris will mark Dong Fangzhuo.
Before playing, Ferguson grabbed Dong Fangzhuo's arm and confessed something, Dong Fangzhuo kept nodding.
After playing, his attention was on Chris.
He perceives Chris in two ways.
One is that in the 2006 World Cup in Germany, Chris played on behalf of the Brazilian national team, and then Ke began to be a little lost.
But being selected for the Brazilian national team shows that he is strong enough.
The second is the FM0304 champion football manager game at that time. I played football in Belgium and played this game in my spare time. I once bought Chris in the game.
The description of Chris in the game is: the man-to-man defense is quite stable, the judgment is accurate, and the speed is very fast.
Seeing Saha listless in the first half, you can tell by being guarded without any temper.
Compared with the traditional England central defender like Ferdinand, the style of Brazilian central defender Chris is more difficult to deal with.
England's central defenders are a little slow to turn around, but Chris doesn't.
Following behind Dong Fangzhuo seemed to be quite easy.
One mountain is still higher. Dong Fangzhuo felt that Chris was quite difficult to deal with as soon as he confronted Chris.
And Chris is very confident. He will not passively follow behind and wait for the opponent to get the ball. He always likes to eliminate danger before the opponent.
He even cleared the ball before Dong Fangzhuo got it.
This is simply an insult to Dong Fangzhuo Chi Guoguo.
At least Saha can protect the ball so that he can't even touch it.
In the case of high ball, Dong Fangzhuo has no chance.
So don't look at your teammates struggling on the field and their performance is not good. Only when you experience it yourself can you know the real taste.
The previous few times against Dong Fangzhuo were defeated by Chris.
There was even laughter from the Lyon fans in the stands.
"Is Manchester United out of strikers? Replace it with this idiot."
"It's far from Benzema on the bench at Lyon."
"This guy must be traveling to see the scenery."
"Chinese, business needs!"
"..."
Dong Fangzhuo did not lose his position,
Chris is strong and he knows it.
He was thinking while running.
If Chris is not dealt with, he will not be able to perform in this game.
And tackle Chris?
It should start with his self-confidence.
Didn't Chris always think he could snatch the ball first?
this time,
Absolutely will not let him succeed again.
He is not really a rookie, he already has a lot of experience.
It is not difficult to make Chris unable to succeed.
Scholes in the middle passed the ball to him again.
This time Dong Fangzhuo took a big step, and in the first time, he opened the distance with Chris.
When Chris approached, he turned sideways to block Chris's right leg that he wanted to stretch out, and firmly protected the ball.
Then the left foot exerted force on the spot, turned around abruptly, forcibly dribbled the ball forward, and quickly entered Lyon's big penalty area.
Chris was stunned by Dong Fangzhuo's strong performance,
I was in a trance for a while,
I saw that Dong Fangzhuo was already adjusting the pace of shooting.
In such an instant,
Chris decided to go out again!
but in the next second,
Dong Fangzhuo's right foot that landed on the ball suddenly turned into a shot,
Just a small step forward.
Oops!
Chris muttered inwardly.
His right foot stepped on Dong Fangzhuo's right foot precisely,
Then,
Chris could only stare angrily, watching Dong Fangzhuo fall forward!
"Foul!"
"Foul!"
"It's definitely a penalty!"
"It's a beautiful penalty!"
bi!
That's right, the referee's gesture pointed to the penalty spot.
Dong Fangzhuo buried his head on the turf until the whistle sounded, confirming that it was a penalty kick, he turned over and got up.
"Good job, dude!"
Ronaldo hugged him when he came up, and patted him on the shoulder happily.
At this time, there is a penalty kick, which is a timely rain.
But the first penalty shooter is not there,
The second penalty shooter is not there,
Who takes the penalty?
Ronaldo, who was eager to try, set his sights on Ferguson off the court...
